Suggest Remedy For Pain In Forearm And Lumbar Area When Suffering From Fibromyalgia

I have just been reading the article on Fibromyalgia. I am a nurse and last evening at work I encountered a patient who states she has this disease and has throbbing, burning pain down her left forearm and lumbar area. She has been told by her Dr. she has not got Fibromyalgia. They are cutting back on her Gabapentin which she was taking for pain along with NSAIDS. She is getting cold packs for pain relief. This disturbs me and your article makes it more concerning that this lady would be treated as such.
